Julius Malema calls himself the Commander in Chief of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) but he could not even manage to convince his own ward to vote for him.

According to details on social media, Malema lost in his own backyard with reports saying that all Polling Stations voted for the ANC in the Provincial and National Elections.

At 38 years, Malema still has a chance to be President but he must change his brand of politics which is viewed as too divisive. He attracts a huge following on social media but it didn’t reciprocate in the votes.

Someone has even suggested that the firebrand former ANC Youth Wing leader should be voted as the social media President.

Malema is a close friend of Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, He even sent him the iconic red beret last week. And Babu wished him goodluck before elections started on Wednesday.

Unfortunately for him, more than 50% of votes have been counted and the EFF Party has is a distant 3rd with 9% of votes. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s ANC will form the next government as it leads with 56% while the Democratic Alliance has 24%.

The “son of the soil”, as he has been styled by his Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has spent the last six years turning the party he founded into a disciplined force that has set the agenda in some policy areas.

Expelled from the governing African National Congress (ANC) in 2012, Mr Malema, or “Juju” as he is sometimes called, has positioned the EFF as the true inheritor of the ANC’s radical agenda and has exposed the governing party’s left flank.

Ever since the start of the public life he has not shied away from controversy, offending a wide range of people from women’s rights groups, to white farmers, to his own political bosses.

In South Africa, the Party with the most votes automatically elects the President. This will be done later this month and Ramaphosa is the man.
